To help you kickstart your career, ADE Lab hosts a wide variety of demo drops where the people behind those highly sought-after inboxes and addresses actually listen to your productions and offer you feedback in real time. This one is for those not afraid of showcasing their music to the headliners we look up to and the people calling the shots behind the scenes. So, ready to shoot your shot? 〰

demo:drop Do's and don'ts with Nicky Romero & Jorik van de Pol

Why hasn't your demo been picked up yet? Stop wondering and send it to all the labels and agencies you know. Instead, join ADE Lab, where Nicky Romero and A&R of his Protocol label Jorik van de Pol explain what you need to do (and don't) to stand out and make it. By sending what will hopefully be your last demo drop email to these experts, you might get the chance to get real-time feedback on your pitches live on stage on ADE Thursday.

Vibing Out with Darude

What does it take to create a track that sticks with people? All-time dance music icon Darude knows a thing or two about that.. Pick his brains during ADE Lab, where you can join an in-person A&R session with the master of earworms himself. Remember to bring your USB because Darude picks two USBs from the stash, gives the tracks on the two flash drives thirty minutes of real-time feedback, and shares his knowledge on producing with attendees of the session 'Vibing Out with Darude' on ADE Thursday.

Demolition XXVI

What do The Lady Machine, Joseph Capriati, Kölsch, Agoria, Dave Clarke, and Ivan Markovic have in common? They're all part of the hugely successful' Demolition' format on ADE Saturday. Dave Clarke hosts this demo drop that allows ADE Lab visitors to receive live on-stage feedback from this all-star panel, from A&Rs to artists, all with a broad knowledge of the electronic genres. Dare to send in your best demo, and let the games begin!
